Today, Miss J Devereux, Assistant Headteacher, met with pupils who had their work published following their fantastic entries in the ‘Grim Tales’ creative writing competition. They were presented with certificates and celebrated for this brilliant achievement!

She also caught up with Year 7 pupils Alfie and Lola, whose families shared the exciting things they got up to over the summer:

Lola attended Crystal Academy, tried Aerial Hoop, and now trains weekly! She also visited Peak Wildlife to feed the wallabies and Harry Potter World, where the behind-the-scenes magic inspired her imagination.

Alfie met author R.E. Brooker, discussing his dream of becoming a marine biologist and children’s writer. He was gifted a signed copy of her book and has been teaching himself manga drawing through online tutorials – blowing Miss Devereux away with his talent!

We are so proud of the creativity, confidence, and passion our pupils show both in and out of school.
